Kal Rubinson reviews the DEQX Calibrated(TM) NHT Xd system in Stereophile MagazineAudiophilia - The DEQX PDC-2.6P - A Revolution?

"What I heard was truly amazing, jaw dropping, illuminating, eye opening, ear opening…well, you get the picture...

Height, width and depth were all bettered. Instrumental layering became clearer, as well as their separation. Air around instruments took on a more vibrant quality and at the same time the instruments themselves took on solidity and three dimensionality that was beguiling...

Detail levels increased across the entire musical spectrum without adding any clinical edge to the sound. Quite the contrary, an analogue-like smoothness and liquidity pervaded what I heard...
The DEQX shows us that by removing speaker inaccuracies and distortions our listening window becomes clearer and more transparent then ever."

Martin Appel, Reviewer


"Just a simple love affair between ear and gear."
DEQX's PDC-2.6P is an Audiophilia Star Component Award winner.

DEQX Customer Loudspeaker System Review - Overkill Audio's Encore
"...the Encore categorically eschews non-linear, phase-challenged, passive crossovers. Instead, it relies on phase-correct, active, digital crossovers with ultra-steep 96dB/octave slopes..."
"...They find its DSP board (embedded with over one million lines of proprietary code) to be heads and shoulders above the next competitor, i.e. of true, uncontested and unequaled reference caliber."
